Average for United States.

1t will be readily seen by this table
where corn is the leading article of food
for hogs that the deaths are in no case
less than 10 to the 100 head, while in
Minnesota and Wisconsin where bran.
shorts roots, barley, etc, are fed that the
death rate ranges three to six times less
in number. In the Central and Eastern
states the mortality is correspondingly
small. Losses in the Southern states are
for all classes of animals invariably very
large az comprred with those farther
north, the mortality from disease de-
creasing in a remarkably constant degree
until at the northern boundary of the
United States the deaths from that cause
range from three times less for cattle to
ave times less for swine. Certainly
most astonishing showing in favor OF
Northern states, even to those who are
aware of the favorable influence of the
climate here on animal development.
Cold climates are not inimical to sue
cess in stock raising; on the contrary, the
climate must be cold to secure the most
favorable conditions for the best success
in that business.

THERE Is now good reason TO believe
that the inter state commerce commits
sion will revoke all orders suspending the
fourth clause from July /, and that after
that date there will be gen raj and a
rigid enforcement of the law. Col Nor
rison says, however, that they have ar
rived at no conclusion. In recent in
terview with the representative of the
New York World, he said; at should bo
remembered that the commissioners were
appointed only a few days before the law
went into effect. We had little time TO
consider the several effects OF the law
aud as it was represented by several rail
roads that the enforcement of the fourth
section would work great injury to
themselves and the public, we did not
think Is would be aEy harm TO continue
the old order of things for sixty or
ninety days, until SO could thoroughly in
vestigate the matter. do not think the
commission exceeded their authority in
granting the suspension. Congress gave
the committee authority to suspend any
section of the act at their discretion in
exceptional cases. 1t is an interesting
fact that neither Judge Reagan nor Mr..
Cullom, who inserted the clause in the
bill, nor any of the members of either
house who voted as did for the measure,
